Bug#598886: dahdi-source: vzaphfc does not work: "Unable to receive TEI from network"

Sat Oct 2 19:26:33 UTC 2010

Package: dahdi-source
Version: 1:2.3.0.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze sid

This occurs even after a fresh Debian Squeeze installation on new
(=other) hardware. I have also tried Linux kernel 2.6.32, 2.6.34,
2.6.35. State in Asterisk is always "Provisioned, Down, Active".

Looks like other users are having the same problem:
